@tomjoe Thanks for doing that, now I know that the problem happens in python scripts running outside of XBMC. This means that it's not specific to the plugin or XBMC, but it could be specific to Python (which, as you may know, is the language that the plugins use).

I'll have a think about that for the time being.

@Mossy, I've sent you my logs for bctest.

Got all that, thanks.

@tomjoe I've found that there a couple of web pages for which some people get the 504 Gateway Timeout response, but only in python, the same pages work fine in a web browser. I'd like to see what happens when you try to access them with python.

I've uploaded a python script bctest2.py to the same folder as last time. This script tests two extra web pages. I'd like you to run it twice. First time as normal and the second time with Smart DNS turned off, just connecting directly.

Run the following from a command line each time:
Code:
python bctest2.py

... and send me the resulting output.

@Mossy, logs sent. bctest2.py errored out on line 11...

Good news. The Brightcove connection works when you're not going through Smart DNS.

The solution then is to run a DNS on one of your machines (perhaps one of your XBMC devices) configured to go to c.brightcove.com directly, and everything else to go through Smart DNS.

Then configure your XBMC devices to use that machine as your DNS.

On linux this can be done with dnsmasq.

To configure dnsmasq as described above edit the dnsmasq config file (probably /etc/dnsmasq.conf) to add something like this:

Code:
server=/c.brightcove.com/8.8.8.8
server=62.69.62.7

This example uses 8.8.8.8 as your direct DNS IP and 62.69.62.7 as your Smart DNS IP. Change appropriately.

Ok Mossy, I've implemented dnsmasq as you suggested, and removed the standard DNS configuration from Raspbmc.

As far as I can tell, RTE live stream & catch-up (including geoblocked shows) still work as normal, so the SmartDNS is being used for these.

For AerTV, I still have the timeout error. Checking the log, brightcove recognizes my foreign location and denies access. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if brightcove host the stream service and do the geolocation check, there's no way to use dnsmasq to distinguish between the two requests? In reality, I think AerTV / Brightcove have figured out a way to block SmartDNS.

EDIT: Maybe I'm searching in the wrong place, I'm getting a login failed error for AerTV Plus. I'm sure I have my correct email/password...any ideas how I can check?

You're right. Brightcove is geo-blocking so it's not going to work

Back to the drawing board.

To get bctest2.py working you need to install the requests module.

If you pip installed you can install the requests module with:

Code:
pip install requests

I'd like to see if the problem exists in Python 3.2 too, so I'd like you to install Python 3.2, then run bctest2.py in both versions, so


Code:
python bctest2.py

followed by

Code:
python3.2 bctest2.py


Considering you don't get the problem in a browser, it looks like the problem is specific to Python, in which case if we don't get around it in Python 3.2 then using a different scripting language, maybe Perl, should work. If that works out to be the case then I can write a script (in Python 3.2 or Perl or whatever) that communicates with c.brightcove.com and call that script from within the plugin.

Hi!

I installed the Irish TV 2.0.24 .zip in my raspberry with raspbmc, but when I make click I only can see " Error plugin failed...."



I have to try with another version?



I wait your answer.

Smart DNS from Overplay works for me with the version 2.1.1

I have an AerTv plus account and tested that that RTE2 HD and BBC1 worked.
Only minor issue I ran into was on my Apple TV was that I had a value set for AerTv under proxy per service in settings.

I changed that to None (I set the smart dns servers via the apple tv network options) and everything worked fine.

Where are you actually located? I assume Overplay DNS also works fine for you with AerTV.ie in a browser?

Just reverted back to 2.1.1 and everything seems to be working. Maybe Overplay got their act in order.

Thanks for your support last week Mossy. Really appreciate it and hope you had a couple of beers on me!
